“ A brief write-up of my past activities ”
M. Safavi
1979-2012 General Director (self-employed ) Bar Avaran Iran.
Of all the extensive involvements and challenges confronted by me in this maiden company dealing with Agency matters of CONVOY CONTAINER LINE, HAMBURG, SPEEDBRIDGE CONTAINER LINE, JAPAN, which had been instrumental in forming a backbone for my career development leading to the most
illustrious one was the highly contested responsibility of serving as the appointed SEA-LAND SERVICE General Manager in Iran and winning their full consent for higher professionalism and achievements. This responsibility hewed and permeated me to unimaginable boundaries of proficiency which wedged the admiration of colleagues in SEA-LAND. It was only during this eminent period of service that my struggles for attaining an amplified level of efficiency and skill got its full reward. Subsequently handled Feeder Operator QC FEEDERS and many NVOCCs winning their Agencies for our Company. The recent one was the intricate negotiation and fruitful conclusion of the Agency Contract with MESSINA SHIPPING LINE, GENOA.
2002-2007 General Manager ( self employed ) – Iran Tarabar
This was a home away from home experience for me. It was a very encouraging time working with my friend and partner Mr. Hussain Mir Mohammad Ali
(President oF Iran Shipping Association ) who was usually warm hearted in his partnering approaches and always a beacon of inspiration and a good mentor for me to develop my skills. Attendance at yearly Principal sponsored meetings to evaluate Agent’s performance related to RICKMERS LINE, HAPAG LLOYD, BENGAL TIGER LINE and strategies for inducting new Agencies for our establishments were successfully promoted to new levels 1995 – attended an Agent’s Meeting held by Rickmers Shipping Line Germany at Intercontinental Hotel, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman 1998 – attended an Agent’s Meeting held by Hapag Lloyd Shipping at their Office in Singapore
1980-2024 General Director (self employed) – Pars Tarabar
My partnership in Pars Tarabar functioning as the General Director was more of a sanctuary for me to reinstate my skills when challenges were faced and had to be turned into opportunities during 45 years of my occupation in the shipping industry. At its performance peak, it was the closely knit association of fellow partners Mr. Hussain Rahattalab, Mr. Hussain Mir Mohammad Ali, Mr. Ghafoor Mohsenipour and Mr. Ali Akbar Azimi that paved the way for our good market reputation, recognitions and achievements. We were honored being awarded the Agency of DEUTSCHE NAH-OST LINIEN, HAMBURG besides the world-renowned German Freight Forwarder TRANSCARGO SPEDITIONS, HOF and the old timer LEXZAU SCHARBAU CO HAMBURG which were all successfully managed. Today with a new team of partners who have held top administrative responsibilities at shipping agencies of Evergreen Line and Maersk Line we aim to attain higher levels of achievements and performance at global levels.
